Buffalo Bill, Scout of Scouts - Part 32. A Dangerous Mission.

Panel 1: “Young Billy Cody’s fame as a scout had preceded him into the army, and he found himself called upon for special service. In Tennessee on one occasion, General Smith sent him through the southern lines in disguise to get some information.”
Panel 2: “As Bill was leaving camp, he caught a confederate carrying important dispatches behind the Union lines. He at once recognized the man as Nat Golden, who had worked with him for the freighting company in Kansas.”
Panel 3: “Young Cody made Nat give up the messages he carried. Billy read the papers, put them in his own pocket, and called loudly for the corporal of the guard.”
Panel 4: “When the federal soldiers came and arrested Nat, Billy merely explained that he had taken a prisoner. By not exposing Nat as a spy, he saved his friend from a firing squad. Tomorrow – Behind the enemy’s lines.”
